About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

For a typical Providence heating season, occasional fireplace use calls for a quarter to half cord, while a wood stove used as a primary heat source usually needs one to two full cords.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider topping off garden beds with mulch or adding a layer of stone along walkways, both available on our Providence regional pages to handle the seasonal freeze and thaw common to this area.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Providence's damp winters and spring thaw can wick moisture back into a pile sitting directly on soil. Cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, leaving the sides open so humidity trapped in the wood can still escape instead of condensing and slowing your seasoning progress.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and ash split cleanly and season into dense, long burning splits that hold coals well overnight, while maple lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent tells you a split is ready to burn cleanly without the sizzling and smoke that comes from higher moisture content.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the mid October frost arrives, since supply tightens once cold weather hits and everyone in the region is calling at once. Ordering early also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry out fully before you actually need them burning.

Wood Heat in Providence

Providence winters run long, typically from that mid October first frost clear through the last frost near April 25, which means wood stoves and fireplaces often get six months of steady use. Green or partially dried wood struggles in southern New England's humid air, smoldering and coating chimneys with creosote instead of throwing real heat. Our firewood is fully seasoned before it reaches your driveway, cut and split from local oak, ash, and sugar maple that are common across Rhode Island woodlots. That seasoning process matters more here than in drier climates because Providence's coastal humidity slows natural drying if wood is left out unprotected. Buying wood that is already properly dried means you are ready to burn from the first cold snap without waiting out another season.

Local Hardwood Species

Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.

Seasoning and Moisture

Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.

Buy Local, Burn Local

Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Providence winter?

Most households burning a few nights a week from November through March go through a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood stove users heating a main living space often need one and a half to two full cords over the season.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for several months until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly, which is especially important in Providence where humid air off Narragansett Bay slows drying and can leave uncovered wood damp well into winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Rhode Island, mainly oak, ash, and sugar maple, all known for dense, long burning coals that hold heat through a cold overnight.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Providence?

Yes, all of our firewood is cut and split from wood sourced close to the Providence area, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new regions.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a delivery window, bring your order out on a truck, and dump it loose at your driveway, so plan on having wheelbarrows or extra hands ready if you want it moved and stacked elsewhere.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and we sell a quarter cord, a third cord, and a half cord as fractions of that same measurement so you can match your order to your storage space and burning habits.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Providence?

Rhode Island follows state open burning restrictions that limit outdoor burning, so most residential wood burning happens indoors in stoves, fireplaces, or insert units, and keeping wood properly seasoned helps reduce smoke output and stay in good standing with neighbors during inversion prone winter days.
